Good Man
Seen a man he was walking through town
And I ain’t never seen someone look so down
So I asked how he was he said “Son,
I thought I’d be in Hell by now”
I’d never gone down this old road
If I knew it would be so long
I’d never’ve gone this way if I’d known
That Hell would be so far down
So far down
See, this man he looked just like a ghost
A stiff breeze would’ve blown him over
He was a-shiftin’ ‘round, I couldn’t catch his eyes
When I finally tried I caught his eyes
And looked just like mine
Lord, they looked just like mine
He said “I just want to feel like a good man
Just want to feel like a good man
I wish God would work me into his good, good plan
Let me feel like a good man
Oh, Lord, just a good man”
Feel like an old freight train
That the devil set a-flame
And sent it barreling down the line
Like he set Heaven on fire
And he’s a-makin’ good time
I hate that old devil of mine
He wants he said to me
“you will belong to me
You’ll start with me, you’ll end with me
And everything in between
It will all be of me
I just want to feel like a good man
Just want to feel like a good man
I wish that God would work me into his good, good plan
Let me feel like a good man
Lord, just a good man
Just a good man
Just a good man
A good man
